5 zones is the default. You can change it to whatever you want, but it really just depends on how many you need running at the same time, I think. The more you have the more memory it uses, obviously.

Which client did you install? (Titanium, SoF, SoD?)

I'm using the regular eqemuloginserver, not minilogin, is that my problem?

toad · #4 12-10-2010, 10:41 AM

OK, here is the eqeum_config.xml file..

<?xml version="1.0">

<loginserver>

<password></password>
</loginserver>






<tcp ip="eq.toadville.org" port="9000" telnet="disable"/>

Here is EQEMULOGIN.ini

[LoginConfig]
loginserver=localhost
port=5998
DumpPacketsIn=true
DumpPacketsOut=true
Trace=true
DatabaseServerName=eqdb
DatabaseCatalogName=PEQLoginDB
DatabaseUserName=root
DatabaseUserPassword=obscured
OPCodePathAndFileName=Login_opcodes.conf

so short of letting someone onto the server what else would be helpful in troubleshooting this?

Chanus · #7 12-09-2010, 03:34 PM

Might be worth a shot.

I know SoF can work, but I think there are still issues with it (and support for it may have been dropped to work on SoD/Underfoot clients), but Titanium works for sure.

toad · #8 12-09-2010, 03:48 PM

Ok, tried Titanium, get "an unknown error occurred while trying to join the server"

still only get response from the login server, nothing in world or zone window

Maybe look at your eqemu_config.xml (in your server root directory).

The world section might be set to localhost or 127.0.0.1 instead of your server's ip address (it should be to the server's ip)

**Derision** · #10 12-09-2010, 04:04 PM

As Chanus says, check your eqemu_config.xml

Code:

[Thu Dec 09 10:27:56 2010]00037:*** WorldAuthenticate. Error connecting to :9000 [clientDisconnectReasonConnectFail,serverDisconnectReasonNone]

I would expect to see your server IP address before the :9000, e.g. 'Error connecting to 192.168.254.20:9000'

that was set as local host, but it is really local host, but i did change. No help

where is the client looking for that information? the only thing i changed on the client is the login server. which is working. the only thing i see for port 9000 is in the eqemu_config, which says
<tcp ip=eq.toadville.org" port="9000" telnet="disable" />

on the server, my host record points that name to 127.0.0.1, on the client, my host record points that name to the ip address of the server 192.168.254.20

The client is hardcoded to connect to world on udp port 9000. This is the section in eqemu_config.xml that specifies your world address:

Code:

        <world>
                <address>yourserver.ip.address.or.dns.name</address>-->
                <localaddress>192.168.1.100</localaddress>-->
                <loginserver>
                      <host>localhost</host>
                      <port>5998</port>
                      <account>account</account>
                      <password>password</password>
                </loginserver>
                <key>Some Long Random String</key>

                <shortname>BTG3</shortname>
                <longname>ZZZ BWG2 Private</longname>
                <http port="9080" enabled="true" mimefile="mime.types" />
        </world>

I use the latest version of EQEmuloginserver from the source code SVN, but I don't think I have changed that config section from when I used minilogin for my private server.

Chanus · #13 12-10-2010, 09:55 AM

No, you want to use that one.

Go through your eqemu_config.xml and eqemulogin.ini and make sure you don't have some places saying port 5998 and others saying 5999 maybe.

And try:

Code:

 <world>
                <address>eq.toadville.org</address>-->
                <localaddress>192.168.254.20</localaddress>-->

in the eqemu_config.xml

toad · #14 12-10-2010, 10:18 AM

I think i found it.....


<key> some long random string</key>

i'm guessing i need to put something in there. Is there a min/max or any thing i need to know about this line?

toad · #15 12-10-2010, 10:25 AM

ok that didn't seem to fix it.

what about under login server information....

<loginserver>
<host>eq.toadville.org</host>
<port>5998</port>
<account></account>
<password></password>

do i need an account and password in there? if so, what do i use?
